Thanks everyone for the suggestions - I made them and our little guy is doing great - eating tons and growing so fast!
A couple of questions if anyone has any advice:
1- when do most baby beardies start eating greens, etc? Our little guy won't touch anything other than crickets and worms so far. We offer him greens and bearded dragon food and occasional fruit, but he doesn't touch any of it yet. I estimate that he is about 4 months old right now (he's about 9 inches long).
He needs to start eating them now --- what worm are you feeding he needs those be used a lure to the salad bowl --- feed salad first thing in the morning - add your worms to the salad and let him see you do this so you will need a glass or ceramic bowl they cant get out of --- you can use small super worms butter worms silk worms and horn worms -- I would switch to dubia roaches they last longer and they dont stink -- easy to take care of get a 10 gallon aquarium feed them dubia food or dragon food your giving like squash and carrots for hydration - I would add 1-3 medium super worms 1 horn worm and silk worms like 2 they are also a staple feeder -- order some BSFL also know as nutri grubs calci worms and phoenix worms -order large and do not dust they are another great staple feeder and will compliment the other staple your feeding --- you can get all these from here http://www.dubiaroaches.com except the silk you can can small ones from here http://www.reptilianarts.com if you order like 50 get food they will need to be fed and containers cleaned daily--- or you can get from here http://www.coastilsilkworms.com they come w/ a little food but you will need more and they are small too - --- these worms will lure him to the salad bowl -- here is a website for nutrition http://www.beautifuldragons.com/Nutrition.html ignore the kale thing its a good staple feeder
2 - does anyone have recommendations for companies to ship crickets? I've had terrible luck the past 2 shipments from Flukers - crickets all half the size of what I ordered and 2/3 of them dead - twice in a row now; I had good luck with LLL Reptile once, then a bad shipment a couple of weeks ago - small and mostly dead - waiting for another shipment to arrive this week - hoping it's like the first - any other places others have had better success with?
